There is a Chinese restaurant in Cambridge. Do you know that Hawking liked that Chinese dish?

In her later years, the house was quiet with few people coming in and out. She usually enjoyed eating Chinese food such as potato chips. He Xueyu, a girl from Chengdu, was a postgraduate student at the University of Cambridge in the UK. During her postgraduate studies from 2015 to 2016, she lived right across from Hawking’s house and was fortunate enough to be his neighbor. In He Xueyu’s memory, her neighbor Hawking was very mysterious. “During the little over a year I lived across from his house, I never saw him at all, not even walking around in his own yard. ”He Xueyu recalled, “I heard from other neighbors that Hawking used to be very hospitable; he would invite neighbors to his home. During the time I was his neighbor, I really hoped to be invited by him.” ”However, to He Xueyu’s regret, Hawking did not invite the neighbors over that year. He Xueyu told Red Star News reporters that Hawking’s home was a wooden building that wasn’t considered luxurious; “It’s a fairly large house, with an abandoned small yard next to it.” Hawking lived here for many years; I even tried to use his Wi-Fi in the past. Hawking didn’t seem to mind having others use his Wi-Fi either, as the username for his Wi-Fi network was SWH (an abbreviation for Stephen William Hawking). My senior told me that even before I moved in, Hawking hadn’t set a password for his Wi-Fi. ” According to He Xueyu, few people came in and out of Hawking’s home, but ambulances could often be seen coming and going; “it seems they weren’t for emergency cases, but rather to transport his wheelchair.” ”He Xueyu said, “His home is very quiet; there isn’t much traffic coming in and out. This is different from the image we usually have of the homes of great scientists, which are bustling with activity.” ” What impressed He Xueyu the most was the fountain in Hawking’s home. During her stay there, a fountain was installed in Hawking’s house. “It was a very large fountain, and the sound of the water it produced was extremely loud; you could hear that rushing sound at all times. I guess he probably intended to create such loud noise, perhaps so as to prevent outsiders from hearing any sounds coming from his home. He didn’t want to be disturbed by external noises while being at home.” ” He Xueyu revealed that Hawking loved a Chinese restaurant at Cambridge University very much. “Students at Cambridge all know that he liked the spicy potato chips from that restaurant the most; he would put them in his mouth, chew them, taste them, and then spit them out. Because he liked them so much, those potato chips were named ‘Hawking’s Potato Chips,’ and many tourists would go there just because of them.” ”
